The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 195 Exile 22

The group found a village to stay overnight. After a few days, the people sent by Lu Fufeng arrived.

With the household registration and Wendie in mind, Lu Fufeng kept his promise and sent these ninety people to the nearest town and found the local county magistrate to take over.

As for other matters, that is not his business.

This place is actually very close to the north, but the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so basically no one can control it. As long as people finally reach that place, nothing else matters.

With a spacious carriage, a warm stove, and an escort, Chao Yao's family took half a month to finally reach their final destination.

The imperial court arranged a village for these exiles. It was called a village, but in fact it was just a piece of land that could not be seen clearly in the vast snow. There was nothing on it.

There are no houses and no rivers.

There was nothing there except the endless woods.

Chaoyao quietly measured the temperature, it was minus 30 degrees Celsius.

Yang Tiaotiao frowned, "Husband, this place is uninhabitable, right?"

Chao Tiancai was actually also struggling with this. It was thanks to Lu Fufeng's help that his family could come here early. If he asked for help again to use his connections to live in the town, it might not work.

But it’s not realistic for the whole family to dig frozen soil to build a house now!

It was simply unthinkable that the exiled people would live in the town.

This was actually the first time Lu Fufeng had seen the scene before him. He had never come into contact with exiled people before and didn't know these procedures.

"Uncle, this place is not habitable. There is nothing here and it is impossible to survive! Otherwise, I will go to the county government to ask for some flexibility and see if we can move you to another place to live for a while, and then come back to repair the house in the spring."

The soldier who brought them here sneered and said, "Don't be so delusional. This is how it is here. You have to find a way to survive. We have to repair the city wall next spring. There is no time for you to do so many things. There is firewood everywhere in this forest. You have to find a way to survive the winter with it."

Lu Fufeng frowned, took out a silver leaf and handed it to the soldier, asking, "Is there really no way to make some compromises and take them to live in the town until spring? There is nothing here, and even firewood will be blown out by the wind! I remember that there will be continuous thunderstorms in two months, and it will not get better until April or May. Isn't this driving people to death?"

After the soldier took the silver leaf, his attitude immediately became much friendlier, with an ingratiating smile on his face.

He who pays you is the boss, but his annual salary is not even worth a single silver leaf!

"Brother, it's not that they can't go to town, but if they go there and someone with ulterior motives reports them, it will be hard for the county magistrate to handle it, and then their crime will be even more serious. I've also made inquiries, and as long as the Chao family stays here for ten years, they will be free. There's no need to ruin their future because of such a small matter."

"This has always been a place of exile. How did those people survive in the past?"

"Alas, what else can I do? I have to leave it to fate. I have to collect firewood every day to make firewood. There are many people in the family, so we take turns to collect and burn firewood."

Lu Fufeng and the soldier continued chatting, and Chao Tiancai also asked carefully on the side.

Chao Yao, however, focused on the air thunder that Lu Fufeng mentioned.

The energy of thunder is actually not easy to collect. Her cultivation has now reached the early stage of Golden Core, but she has never actually experienced a thunder tribulation.

Without experiencing the tribulation of thunder, it is impossible to shape the soul.

She clearly felt that this level of cultivation was just more spiritual energy, and the soul was still the same soul. If there were no major changes, her cultivation would probably stop here in the future.

Up to now, she has never been to the world of cultivation, let alone experienced a thunder tribulation.

So, if she could stay here and experience thunder tribulations again and again to temper her body and soul, would she be able to become even more powerful in the future?

"Yaoyao, don't go too far. The snow is thick here and we won't be able to see anyone soon."

Yang Tiaotiao called out to Chao Yao who was walking into the woods, fearing that the child would run away if she wasn't careful.

"Okay mom, I'll go check it out and be back soon."

Chao Yao ran towards the woods. She used her spiritual sense to look at the place. If she could clear a piece of wasteland in the woods and build a house, she would have plenty of advantages.

It's just that it's easy to get struck by lightning in the woods during a thunderstorm, so she was happy about it, but the rest of the family would be in trouble.

I have to think about it carefully.

Chao Yao found an area with dense trees, pulled up all the trees by their roots and put them into space, then quickly built an earth house in this area.

There are kangs and fire walls in the earthen house, which are built according to modern northern rural methods. Once the fire is lit, it will definitely keep you warm.

The furniture in the house was immediately put in place, all made from the dried trees that had just been pulled up.

There is open space all around this piece of land, so even if lightning strikes, it should not hit other people in the house.

She just listened to the soldier's words. Going to the town was a gamble. It was too risky to leave her fate to others.

Although she can just walk away, the rest of the family will have to live here for generations to come.

After doing all this, Chao Yao looked at the house in front of him that was completely habitable and nodded with satisfaction.

She covered up all the dirt pits and snow left by the trees she had just pulled out, making it impossible to tell that she had just built them.

By the way, there is still a lot of firewood that needs to be chopped and stacked, otherwise there will still be no firewood when you move into the house.

After doing all this, Chao Yao planned to go back. She had to slightly change the soldier's memory and make him tell her that there was a house in the woods.

If she said she discovered it herself, it would be easy for people to doubt her.

When Chao Yao came back, the soldier was still struggling with them, mainly trying to find a way to get back.

Chao Yuebai was shivering from the cold, and her lips were almost purple.

Chao Yao calmly shot a ball of spiritual power at him, which slowly warmed up his body.

"Yaoyao, what were you doing there just now?"

Yang Tiaotiao pulled Chao Yao aside and asked.

"Mom, I need to go to the bathroom. There are too many people here. Sorry."

"You kid!"

Yang Tiaotiao covered her mouth and smiled.

"Mom, how was the talk?"

"I don't know. Lu Fufeng plans to bring a shed over for us to live in."

Chao Yao smiled and said, "Brother Lu is such a kind-hearted person."

Yang Tiaotiao agreed very much, "Indeed, it seems that my brother has a good relationship with him, and he has taken a lot of trouble!"

After Lu Fufeng proposed a solution, he planned to take his men away. He had to pull the tent over immediately.

At this time, Chao Yao probed her spiritual sense into the soldier's brain. Time was short, so she had to be quick.

"and many more!"

The soldier called out to Lu Fufeng.

"I suddenly remembered that I heard that a hunter once built a yard in the woods with his family. Later, when they came to the town, they all died in an accident outside. Now no one lives in the yard they built. I didn't think of this just now. After all, I only heard it from one ear and didn't know whether it was true or not. How about you go to the woods to look for it again?"
